Mr. Charles W. ChestnuttChesnutt, 1646 Union Trust Bldg., Cleveland, Ohio.
Dear Sir:

Your name has been referred to me in my endeavors to locate the title of a book which I have read some years ago.

The story pertains to the courtship between a Negro gentleman and a white lady, through correspondence; a final personal meeting; disappointment; and a happy ending.

Do you recognize this brief synopsis, and could you enlighten me as to the title?

Any assistance you could render me in this connection will be greatly appreciated.

Respectfully yours, (Miss) Vlasta Vavra
